This Puppy Is Done!

I finally finished the baby blanket after a total restart and a small set back in the new design. I think this finished size will be perfect for covering and using in a car seat or for a bassinet blanket. I left it this size because I did not have enough of each color to do another set of the color pattern. This was part of my reasoning in doing the edging in this manner. I wanted the top to be distinguishable from the bottom so I did the wide band. With what I have left of this yarn I am making a new-born beanie and some booties. Since they don’t take long I will just post when I finish them rather than do a work in progress.

I decided to single crochet a wide band using all the colors excluding white and the puppy print. This is the top of the blanket.

The whole top.

I did a row of single crochet of white around the other 3 sides. I followed that with a row of half double crochet in the puppy print. I did a kind of granny square type of stitching around the bottom corners for a bit of flair.
